Product Information
Full details
The Broncolor Honeycomb Grid Set is designed for professional studio photographers and videographers who use the Broncolor L40 reflector system to achieve precise light control. This kit excels at narrowing the light beam to create high-contrast, directional lighting or to highlight specific details within a composition, though it requires a careful understanding of beam patterns to avoid overly harsh shadows.

FAQs
Can I use these grids on a different reflector?
No, this set is specifically engineered for the Broncolor L40 reflector and will not fit other models properly.
Which grid should I use first?
Start with the coarse grid if you want a wider beam, and move to the fine grid for a tighter, more concentrated beam.
Do these grids reduce my light exposure?
Yes, by restricting the light beam, you will lose some overall light intensity, so you may need to increase your strobe power or adjust your camera settings.
How do I identify which grid is which?
The grids are categorized by the size of their honeycomb patterns. The fine grid will have smaller, denser openings compared to the coarse grid.
Is the grid made of plastic or metal?
The Broncolor honeycomb grids are constructed from high-quality metal to ensure durability and resistance to the heat generated by modeling lights.
Troubleshooting
Grid will not sit flush in the reflector
Ensure that the reflector rim is free of debris and that the grid is aligned correctly with the L40 mounting channel.
Light pattern appears distorted
Check the grid for any bent cells. A single crushed cell can disrupt the light output significantly.
Pros and Cons

Cons
- Requires an L40 reflector
- Reduces overall light output

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the grid, simply press it into the front of the Broncolor L40 reflector until it sits firmly in place. Ensure the grid is seated evenly to prevent the light beam from casting uneven shadows.
- Compatibility: Compatible exclusively with the Broncolor L40 reflector. Do not force the grids onto reflectors of different sizes or brands.
- Cleaning: Use a dry, soft brush to remove dust from the honeycomb cells. If a deeper clean is required, use a slightly dampened cloth with water only, and ensure the grid is completely dry before re-inserting it into the reflector.
- Storage: Store in a protective case to prevent bending of the delicate grid structures.
